Abstract
Air pollution a potential environmental problem is caused mostly by the burning of fuels both in the transport sectors and industrial sectors. Motor vehicles are one of the significant growing air pollution contributors who produce a considerable amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants. The rising concern about the environmental effect of the exhaust emission pollutants has led to the need for the development of progressively efficient catalytic converters and exhaust gas after-treatment systems. Mathematical modeling is an essential way to understand the processes occurring in the catalytic converter, and it plays a critical part in improving and designing the existing models. A mathematical model has been formed for both non-catalytic and catalytic reactions based on mass and heat transfer for the oxidation of VOC ethane. Modeling equations have been solved with an implicit scheme, and numerical calculations have carried out using Matlab software. The results have been compared, obtained from the two reactions mechanisms.
